L-3 EOTech Magnifier User Manual
For use with G23 Magnifiers or MPO Systems
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing L-3 EOTech’s new Generation II 3X magnifier. These magnifiers offer
users of the Holographic Weapon Sight (all models) the additional advantage of vastly improved
target recognition and increased lethality at medium range distances. The Flip to Side mount
allows the user the ability to engage the enemy with confidence in a Close Quarters Combat
(CQB) situation or at distances out to 600 meters or more. This user manual describes the
features of the L-3 EOTech Magnifiers and provides information on their use and maintenance.
Please read the instructions carefully before mounting and using the magnifiers. Always
practice proper firearm safety.

OPTIC CONFIGURATION
The L-3 EOTech Holographic Weapon Sight (HWS) product line has two different heights
above the rail based on user preference. For this reason, the magnifier does not come
preassembled to the mount. It is user configurable based on the specific model HWS it will be
mounted behind. The 7mm riser, included, may be required to align the magnifier optical axis
with the sight. Only HWS models 553, 555, 556, 516, 557 and 517 require the use of the riser.
For all other HWS models, the riser should not be used.
The magnifier system can be configured to flip to the left or to the right based on shooting
preference. Typically, right handed shooters prefer the mount to flip to the left, and left handed
shooters to the right.
To configure your HWS you will need a screwdriver (not included). If the spacer is not used,
the shorter screws should be selected. The longer screws are used with the spacer only. If the
spacer is being used, place the spacer on the optic mounting interface. Open the flip mount.
Position the mount on the optic mount interface (or riser) so it opens either to the left or right
(based on preference). Using the thread locker enclosed, place a drop of thread locker onto
each screw, then insert them through the components, and tighten securely.

BASIC OPERATION
Thread Locker
The Generation II 3x magnifier is designed to be used behind an L-3 EOTech Holographic
Weapon Sight (HWS). The magnifier can be mounted directly behind the HWS. Simply flip the
magnifier out of the way and operate the sight. When used with HWS models 557, 556, 517, or
516 HWS (with side button interface) the user can easily operate the sight even with the
magnifier in the locked position.
Positioning the Reticle:
Once the magnifier is installed properly behind the HWS,
it may be necessary to re-zero the
sight
. This may be due to the shooter’s ability to see the target and Point of Impact (POI) more
accurately than without the magnifier. Re-zeroing the sight will prevent a perceived shift in POI
when going from no magnification to magnification.
